Wow. So I'm just scootin' around Google Maps, the old neighborhood, and there in front of me is Dr.Neiburger's office. Memories......................... I started seeing Dr Neiburger when I was 15 or 16. He was still on Grand Ave. My family was seeing a Dentist(?) in Knollwood. I know not why. Anyway, my youngest brother was prone to nosebleeds and had one while he was at the Waukegan Public Library one night. Doctor Neiburger was also there and gave great assistance. Nice to meet you Dr Neiburger and, again, thanks! This was the family's introduction to the best Dentist in the world. He and his family and staff.... I can't say enough. Sorta like family. I'm 67 now and I really need to make the hour trip south and see you Doctor.... I've not had anywhere near the care that you provided. Love you guys! Gregory Eagon
